Benefits of technology

[0006]The present inventions are directed to compositions that include selected components that provide a defense against the various pathway mechanisms of free radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and other oxidizing species noted above that adversely effect the human body, including the skin. The inventions, therefore, also include methods for applying the compositions of the invention to the skin, to inhibit the causative factors that adversely effect the skin, and thereby treat and improve the quality of the skin. Generally, the compositions and methods of this invention are directed to the prevention of the adverse or detrimental effects of free radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and other oxidizing species noted above, on the human body, including the skin. Thus, the present invention includes various compositions that include at least one anti-free radical component and / or an anti-superoxide component and / or an anti-hydrogen peroxide component and / or an anti-hydroxyl radical component and / or a chain breaking component.

Problems solved by technology

This approach is flawed because it does not recognize that aging is caused by the deleterious interaction of multiple agents on the skin, from multiple sources, causing damage to the skin through multiple simultaneous damage pathways.
More comprehensive studies have found that environmental factors, such as stress, sun exposure, and impurities in food, water, and air, also adversely effect components of the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin which, in turn, impact and alter the appearance of the skin and lead to an appearance of premature aging.
For example, factors such as free radicals, reactive nitrogen species (“RNS”), reactive oxygen species (“ROS”), and other oxidizing species (“OOS”) that may or may not possess characteristics of each free radicals, RNS, and ROS, can adversely impact the human body including the skin.

example 1

[0094]Studies were performed to explore the effect of samples on collagen and elastin synthesis. Two assay systems were utilized for these studies. Human dermal fibroblasts, as these cells actively synthesize procollagen, and elastin.

[0095]Samples were diluted in media. RON SBD 101, Centella asiatica, and vitamin C were prepared at 0.001, 0.01, and 0.1% concentrations. The remaining samples were prepared at 0.1, 1, and 10% concentrations. Centella asiatica was prepared as an extract in DMSO:ethanol:water at 50:30:20. Human dermal fibroblasts (Hs-27) were plated in 24 well plates and were incubated overnight. The following day, the cells were treated with the samples at the concentrations previously indicated. Supernatant fluids were collected and tested for the presence of procollagen using a commercially available ELISA kit and elastin using the Fastin Elastin kit.

[0096]The levels of collagen produced by the cells are shown in FIG. 3. Collagen synthesis is expressed as a ratio of t...

[0099]Sixteen samples were tested for their effects on three different enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases or MMPs) which are involved with breakdown of extracellular matrix proteins. Elhibin was the only sample that inhibited MMP-1. The most potent activators of MMP-1 were CoQ10, BVOSC Ascorbyl ester, Sophorine, Lemon bioflavonoids, ACTIMP 1.3.9, Lemon and mixed citrus extracts, and Kelpadelpie. Most of the samples had no effect of MMP-9, with only BVOSC ascorbyl ester being a strong inhibitor. The strongest inhibitors of elastase were Collalift, Alphinia leaf, Elhibin, Sophorine, Lemon bioflavonoids, ACTIMP 1.3.9, Lemon and mixed citrus extracts, Kelpadelpie, Extracellium, and Colhibin. Therefore, base on the desired profile of MMP-1 and elastase inhibition while having no effect of MMP-9, elhibin would be the raw material of choice.

[0100]The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a group of zinc dependent enzymes, which degrade varying components of the extracellular matrix in both n...

[0103]Cells in skin can produce nitric oxide (NO) when exposed to UV light, and NO thus produced has the potential to induce age associated changes in skin. This study was performed in order to screen a panel of cosmetics and skin care raw materials for their effect on NO production by RAW 264.7 cells. The murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 was used in the study as it has been shown to produce NO when stimulated with LPS.

[0104]Murine RAW 264.7 cells were seeded in a 96 well plate at 1×105 cells well. The plate was incubated overnight. The following day, the cells were treated with the samples at 0.001, 0.01, and 0.1% for 2 hours. The samples are listed below in Table 11. Following the exposure period, LPS was added to the wells at 100 ng / ml. The plate was incubated overnight. Equal volumes of culture supernatant and Griess reagent were incubated for 15 min at room temperature and the absorbance at 540 nm was read. The amount of nitrite in the samples was calculated from a standar...

Abstract

Topical skin compositions include a complex containing components to provide a defense against the various pathway mechanisms of free radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and other oxidizing species on the human body including the skin. The compositions may be administered by topically applying them in an amount to inhibit those mechanisms. The compositions and methods are directed to the prevention of the adverse or detrimental effects of free radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and other oxidizing species on the human body including the skin. Thus, the compositions according to the invention improve barrier function, inhibit elastase and collagenase, and / or promote synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 155,305, filed May 24, 2002, which, in turn, is a continuation-in-part application of PCT / US00 / 31933. The entire contents of each of those applications is incorporated herein as if set forth fully again.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONS[0002]With an aging population, there has been an increase in the study of aging as it relates to the human body and, more particularly, human skin. For example, the treatment of aging skin exhibited by the presence of fine lines, wrinkles, and the like has received a great deal of attention. The dermal signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, and hyperpigmentation have been fought through many tactics including surgery, laser treatment and cosmetics. Cosmetic treatments include the use of various creams and lotions to alter the effects of dermal aging. Much of the literature in the prior art focuses on the use of ...
